This delightful house stands on a quiet cul de sac between the vibrant town of Kenmare and the sleepy village of Sneem; it is close to KY50 which works very well for groups in excess of six, as each house has three bedrooms. Staying here you will appreciate the difference between a "rental" and a private luxury home.
This stylish home is located in perhaps the most beautiful and certainly the most exclusive area on the Ring of Kerry, just 300 yards away from the beauty of Oysterbed harbour. Set in formal gardens with 5 acres of wilderness and with the mountains as a backdrop, this is an exceptional home.
This single storey Post & Beam house is built on a large scale with nearly 3000sq feet of ground floor space. The soaring cathedral ceiling in the main reception room, which opens on to the dining area and kitchen, adds to the sense of spaciousness. The house is surrounded on all sides with a deck which is delightful to use for entertaining in the summer.
